![It can do it all: Sony Xperia 1 VI [review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/cY46jgTSSJM/mqdefault.jpg)
I've had my Xperia 1 mark ii for over three years now. It's been a fantastic phone and it still works perfectly. But the mark V looks like it has a lot of hardware and feature upgrades to now warrant an upgrade.
Same for me and i have the Xperia 1 mark i :) since 2019 happy week end
How have the updates been from Sony? Do they update on a regular basis? I'm looking at the V coming from an iPhone but I've heard bad things about updates on Xperia phones.
@@funkam0nkey You've heard bad things? The phone isn't even out yet...
@@Tube2097 Not on this phone, past Xperia phones. Slow updates and security patches.
@@funkam0nkey I didn't bother with Sony since the K800i days, then came back with Xperia 1. They've been pretty solid for updates in my personal experience and I am still using the original Xperia 1 which has held up, but I can't vouch for this one as I don't know what they plan with regards to support. If it sells well then I would expect them to stick behind it.
finally got my Xperia 1 mk V last week! stellar smartphone and everything and more that i hoped for... the design is lovely and the camera is excellent but that screen is just perfection!
Great initial impressions video, and I look forward to some more in depth reviews. In addition to camera tests, I'd love to see a walkthrough of the software and UI. Thank you for this first impressions! So appreciated! 🙂
Just got this phone. Still bummed they axed the LED notification light. Everything is amazing
My man basil i miss your old comparison videos so much. Phones really were special back then. Glad youre back
He is back 😃😃😃🎉
Looking forward to your full review Basil!👍🏻
Hello Basil, found you again after a long time and wow it got me so nostalgic. It made me recall the good old days when mobile devices were far more exciting, diverse and innovative. Gone are the good old days of HTC ones, the Lg Gs, however, I am glad that Sony is not only still here but it also dares to be different for some legit reasons. Might I suggest that you bring back those audio comparisons etc. You used to do back then. They offered a kind of structure and reference that allowed the viewer to get a better idea of what to look for and where to look for. Please do keep it up 👍🏽
Really kind and nostalgic message! Touched you remember my old videos. Sending good vibes, and will take that on board. Let me know if there are any specific phones you’d like the Xperia 1 V speaker compared with.
Basil
@@tech_edit Thanks for making my day. Also thanks for taking my humble suggestions onboard, that means a lot. Well what can I say your voice makes the mobile reviews "sound" more complete and legit. So far as the comparison goes, I think it makes sense to pit the best sounding leading devices, however, it would be much more fun if you could add to the mix devices from old generations like Nexus, you know a kind of device you think has proven to be champ over the years. In fact it'd be very interesting if you can feature and compare champs in various areas like cameras screen etc with the newer devices in supplementary videos to the main review and comparison videos. It would be great if you can manage it. Keep up the good work and please try not to vanish again. Peace✌️
@@the_matchless Hi Umer, thanks for the suggestion. I took your advice and created this audio comparison: th-cam.com/video/-1qqYC0nwwE/w-d-xo.html thanks for the comment! Basil
@@tech_edit It's very humble and thoughtful of you to have acknowledged this. I feel truly very overwhelmed especially considering that it's coming from an iconic person whom we (the tech enthusiasts) have long admired and have looked up to...
Thanks 🙏🏽
Ps. This is the first time ever for me that any TH-camr especially as big as yourself has had the kindness to acknowledge.
The biggest letdown for me on my 5 IV was the seemingly lack of care that went into the basic photo mode. Has the software gotten better for point and shoot? I know Pixel will always be the king of that in terms of software processing.
the Sony Xperia 1 mk V BASIC photo mode is just excellent... its still got loads of technical features and many many settings compared tp the likes from Apple and Samsung also those handsets and others use computational A.I.Systems to improve photos ie messing with colour saturation, vibrancy, exposure etc. (though many smartphones use a Sony CMOS sensor (its around 50% of ALL smarthphones that use Sony Sensors inc. Apple, Oppo, and many other well known smartphone brands...)
i wouldnt change the Xperia 1 mk V for anything... i got it in August back in 2023 on preorder... i also had the Xperia 1 mk iii which while excellent isnt comparable to the 1 mk V... also for almost 3.5 years my daily driver was a Sony Xperia 5 mk ii... i loved the phone howver after almost 4 years of constant charging cycles the battery only lasts 12 hours... its fine though as i use it as a backup phone as i have 2 lines... one for work and one for personal... im with EE in UK the last almost 11 years...
my 1st Sony phone was in 2000.... the Sony CMD Z5... i used that solid for 3 years then i had the T68i Sony Ericsson... the W810i... the K800i... then the Sony Ericsson M12... later i got the Xperia S which was stellar and no longer carried the Ericsson branding... think this was 2010 or 2011... then later i got the Sony Xperia Z1... then the Z5... then the XZ1... then the Xperia 1 which was a massive gamechanger... then i got the Xperia 5 mk ii and the 1 mk iii... i returned the 1 mk iii to EE so i could get the 1 mk V on preorder... so yeah... i know plenty about Sony phones as i had them since 2000...
Good video. But, I don't think you have to worry about a larger sensor making autofocus faster --- expect perhaps in very low-light scenarios. Most of the time, the larger the sensor, the slower the read out speed. There's a pretty good chance that Sony opted for a smaller, stacked sensor in order to make autofocus snappier than it would have been with the larger sensor some others are using.
I also think so. And Sony has the fastest autofocus speed from Xperia Z5 I think. Sony knows better.
@@shohabmsk agreed!
Great to see you back! 🎉
This is the phone that might finally convince me to switch away from Apple to an Android phone.
I actually ordered this phone after using iPhone for years (iphone 4, 5, 6, 7, 11 pro max, 13 pro). Not because I _need_ a new phone, but because I no longer want to support Apple as a company so I'm moving away from all Apple stuff.
Funny thing is, I'd be happy to keep some Apple stuff and I might change back to Apple after this. However, since it's all vendor-locked together, I'm kinda "forced" to replace my other stuff (most notably AirPods and Apple Watch, and I already got rid of my macbook). Once I will have replaced all my Apple stuff, it will be a tough sell for Apple to get me back in their vendor lock-in party again.
@@gamebuster800 I actually love Apple stuff, for the most part, but what you mention - the ecosystem lock in - is what’s making me want to switch away. My Apple Watch and Apple Card are the only things that might convince me to stay or perhaps keep an older iPhone XR or something as a secondary device.
@@NeonPixels81 I also love a lot of Apple stuff but it just pisses me off when I look at, for example, a Garmin watch and there's a whole list of features not supported because Apple doesn't want to.
Same
You can still use AirPods on android
Whoah!!! I remember you from YEARS ago. I thought you were out of the game. Good to find you again man!
Hi Basil, great video. Did you notice any change in speaker or audio relative to mark 4? Is the new amp in mark 5 a noticeable step up? Thanks!
Is beautiful how Sony keeps tradition and puts usability first on hardware and software. The camera button, dual front speakers, gripping materials, the dynamic focus, no notch etc.
And don't forget the God's Gift of a 3.5mm jack!
@@JimJansen91 100% yes
Hello Basil.
It s good to have you back.
There is no doubt Xperia 1 V is superior to IV, but what do you think of its battery life compared to 1 IV again? Thank you.
15 % better
@@kors3500 lol, that's precise
The best way of reducing cost and improve heating is by Sony replace the new the processor to Mediatek, lower cost and better performance. It’s an amazing phone.
Welcome back. How is the phone security?
Any improvement with the SD card read/write speed?
A major complaint i have with Sony smartphones is their screen ratio. Even though the display is very good, it is too narrow for me. I would have prefered it to be slightly wider.
Agree!
How was the gaming performance? Does it run them perfectly without throttling fps?
In cool environments and when the battery's over 10%, I didn't notice any. That's one of the reasons I hesitate to call this a full review; I haven't had long bouts of gaming, so will take a bit more time to do that. Let me know if there are any specific games you'd like tested.
🎥👍 Good to see you back. Nice overview and look forward to your indepth review. The cameras look impressive and would like to know how well the battery truly copes when out in the field.
Great, BUT SONY SHOULD BRING BACK THE NOTIFICATION LED!! I actually use it
Great video. I'm using the Xperia 1 Mark iii currently. Would you recommend that I upgrade to the V. I live in the US so I can't buy the Vi.
Is it worth to wait for the next i pro ?
I just recently purchased the Sony Xperia Pro-I with the 1 inch sensor found in the Sony Cyber-shot RX1007. I was on sale for $926.06 and it usually retails for $1800.00. I purchased it specifically for it’s photo capabilities. The smartphone was marketed to individuals who wanted a smartphone with enhanced photographic capabilities. How does the new Sony Xperia 1 V compare to the Sony Xperia Pro-I? Supposedly the new phone has a newer camera sensor specifically geared for low-light photography. When I travel to Europe, I take a lot of photos in the nighttime or dusk time period. Any smartphone can take good photos when it’s daytime and the sun is shining but nighttime is a whole different scenario which can be challenging for smartphones and cameras.
does it still have overheating issues?
I'm considering this phone vs the s22 or s23 ultra or even the xperia mark III phones coming from xperia 5 II that got water damaged after 2.5 years. Really liked that phone but considering previous models to save some $$ and phones aren't changing drastically from year to year. Heard overheating issues on mark IV phones so will probably pass on them.
I'm still running the 1 mk3 and never let's me down apart from heat issues if using camera extensively or playing CSR2 which is the biggest cpu user I know but got a snap on peltier twin fan cooler for less than 20 quid that keeps the thing ice cold, best accessory I've ever bought haha.
Can you try some astrophotography samples if you have less light polluted neighborhood. I have tried in Xperia 5 ii, 1 iii using photo pro. They can pick up bright stars but not the milkyway. I would like to see this new sensor of 1V in action. Please.
How much is it?
Awesome Basil. Looking forward to the next episode.
Hi what's the pwm rate? Is it harmful for the eyes?
The stock camera is pretty good but isn't for normal point and shoot. You should test out google camera if it improves the camera experience and picture quality.
Awesome one weeks review as always Sir
In this video the sample photos shown, are those untouched or pimped up with Lightroom or similar application?
Do the camera apps still close themselves after 30 seconds of inactivity? Coming from 1 mark ii and that is sometimes driving me nuts.
How is the low light video recording of the Sony against the Honor Magic5 pro?
Finally a true review and not an only camera review! Thank you! My dream phone... Now lurking for a better price.. 😅
Don't think it will get any better if you consider the pre order xm5 headset bonus any time soon.
under £1000 from Wonda Mobile, that's where ive ordered mine from and its coming Thursday. Super fast 3 delivery for £20 to the UK (not sure where you live), used them loads of times and never let me down.
The best looking ph9ne hands down, a piece of art
Nice content Basel hope you can increase the video volume? Waiting for the full review
Great mini review as always basil I was a heavy sony user back in the day started with the k800i then the c902, which I still have c905 the Xperia play xperia t then a sad thing happened sony lost a big step in the midrange smartphone market I still use sony products I have xb700 Bluetooth headphones I still have the sony Bluetooth remote the one where you plug your headphones into and that still works as good as new I'm hoping that sony will get back seriously into the midrange smartphone market since LG called it a day we need some of that midrange craziness from back in the day 🙏
the problem with the proximity sensor and when you talk with the phone to your ear the screen turns on is it fixed in this version?thanks
What about auto mode? is IA working well? Sorry por my english :)
when does the phone come out ?
That depends on where you are, but June in most regions. Basil
I enjoyed your review very much! Other reviewers said that the battery in fantastic on this one. Intresting to understand why you felt different.
I set my phone to 120Hz as soon as I got it. By default, it's at 60Hz - this could possibly be the key difference, but I can't say for sure.
Keep in mind that its all pre release software. Sony will update the issues at release.
This is a great phone.
Nope...you cannot be certain of that..still have a lot of bugs on my 1 IV
@@JoeGillian0 name them. Name a lot bugs that you have
@@EbNorth ok why not..Happens randomly
..during a call,:
I cannot hang up, probably a bug with proximity sensor that makes the screen disappaer
Person on the other end of the line suddenly cannot hear me.
after listening to music via Bluetooth earbuds/speakers, I cannot switch back to Xperia speaker phones...even if I disable Bluetooth..I have to reboot the phone to get the sound back., ro
Random reboots of the phone(because of app crashing!)
Overheating software issue in Camera Pro and Video Pro app ...it could be much improved by software...since Xperia have software endurance mode to record longer but you need to buy a Sony accessory to unlock and also a few software optimization...
Those call and volume issues are inexcusable and are still not solved after almost 1 year
@@JoeGillian0 That's incredibly rare. And nothing compared to the problems it's rivals have. Look at the list of issues the S22 had, and you'll eventually see the same with S23.
@@EbNorth incredibly rare...how would you know?.I have those issues almost if not daily, on a weekly basis, I never had such issues with galaxy phones before...I don't have S22 so I don't know which bugs you are referring to.
This is a question for all Xperia phone lovers; could anyone please confirm if Xperia 1 V has an 'Adaptive Battery' option available under battery settings! I'm running the Android version 14 (the very latest) in the UK. THANK YOU.
Will we get P60 Pro vs M1 V soon?
Why you not show for us, camera battle vs Xiomi or Honor?
So you don't feel safe to record into a MicroSD card but you ok in recording to the phone?! There are more chances to loose stuff in the phone than in the SD. My Xperia 1II died and i was lucky i jad everything in the SD.
He probably use a crappy SD Card. He Need to use V30 or V60 sd card for camera
Can I not use my usb-c headset with this phone ?
sony穩重/注重環保，不搞噱頭 (弄得花俏或規格一大堆)。
以攝相人臉放大作比較，他的(畫質)/非畫數，感覺自然，不變形或花掉。
是的我同意。 總體設計和功能非常實用且渲染良好。 SONY堅持“形式追隨功能”的設計理念。 這解釋了他們手機的簡單之美。
Where are the majority of your shots taken in basic mode or auto mode?
Thanks for the question, John. For this video, basic mode. For the full camera review, there will be more of a range of shots. Basil
Nice phone. How much is phone price
Man, it would have been the greatest phone for me if it was wider😔 However, it competes with top smartphones.
Great job, Sony.
When is the full review of the phone coming waiting for it love from India
1 V is very impressive and waiting to see sony xperia pro II and 5 v
Is there even a HDR recording option?
Sony is always a great company I love the Xperia series! Sucks I’m stuck on this iPhone 14 plus rn
any thoughts about call quality?
I haven't run into any issues and it's been my primary phone for a full week now.
I can't wait to cop this phone.
10 percent success or 10 percent miss rate?
I just wish they made the design a bit more stylish and with more colours varieties. It was fine at first but they've kept the same design for years now
First: Love your Abyssinian cats. Have had two myself and they are just awesome. Second: Could you share more about what a non-Google near-stock UI is like on the day-to-day? I'm just curious what that's like if someone were to jump from a Pixel to this device (which I'm seriously considering).
Nice video. I have always been a fan of ur content
Thanks Zohaib 🙏
This is my next phone👍but nothing abaut audio quality sound.....is it better vs lg phone? witch was the king in audio sound🎧
I'm having a problem fitting in a second SIM card it just won't fit in?
The phone may be single physical SIM + eSIM. The second slot could be for a micro SD card?
Assuming you can install the video pro APK on an 1 III {1 iii can record 4k120 with this apk) , How much better is 4k120fps video on the 1 v compared to 1 III ?
I don't have a 1 III to compare it with, but the sensor size is significantly bigger, so my best guess would be that noise handling, shallow depth of field and Sony's updated autofocus would be considerably better on the 1 V.
1 III or IV???
It won't really help you. The hardware differences mean that it won't be optimised for your current sensors and you won't get the same results either because of SoC ISP differences.
I tried the SonyXperia1 IV. The issue for me, here in the States, was the phone was horrible. It is also expensive. I could buy a Google Pixel 7 for $400, and have $1100 left over to buy a Sony Camera. I like having it all in one thing that slips in my pocket, but if a phone can't be a phone, it doesn't matter how good the camera is. I can always buy that separately.
I like that google pixel+ sony camera idea
We are talking about Xperia 1v here, witch is a beast
Can you adjust the screen resolution from 4k to FHD+ to save more battery?
I believe it’s always fhd unless your watching something in 4k it will kick on
Does it overheat when it's hot outside like every Sony I've ever tried?
Runs cooler
Very awesome and wonderful. I can imagine having something like that at home. That cat is really one of the most beautiful cats I have ever seen. And what about the smartphone? Sony is at its best here and I love it. Exactly the phone that suits me and meets my requirements. A very beautiful piece of technology
i am realy thinking about sony phone not xperia 1 V but xperia 5 V, i have on equestiion if you can answer can you remove facebok apps from it ?
I just got it and man am I lost. But i know it's a learning curb. Camera filming is interesting because I can take a video with a pixel or an iPhone and be impressed, however there is something unrealistic about the video. I do like the natural like videos I've seen produced on the Xperia but mine will take some time to do that. We will see if I don't have buyers remorse, but the buyers remorse will be on my abilities and not the phones.
Don’t put yourself down. It does illustrate that the Xperia 1 V is a niche tool. I’d suggest sticking in the Photo Pro app at first, even for video. Video Pro and Cinema Pro are too much for me 95% of the time.
Can it be ROOTED?
Phone manufacturers warn against skin contact or clost to skiln. Cellphones emit a form of radiation. I had hip problems from carrying one in my pocket for years. If you have long conversations use the speaker. If you have to have the phone next to your head then turn the volume up and hold it about an inch away (microwaves drop off fast with even a little distance.
I've got a Sony xperia xz premium 2017 i still have that phone and it's amazing 📱👍 I want people to give Sony a go and forget about apple and Samsung😁
Can you make a video how it compares to an iPhone? Or the new ZVE 10
Great video. Great to hear the comparison to the 1 Mark IV but would you pick it over the Samsung S23 Ultra (bearing in mind the ease of use for point and shoot and also the ability to go Pro Mode)?
Never! I also got my new s23u and Sony is nowhere near the competition. HW maybe but SW and usability? Its a long way for my old love Xperia.
@alsaadchowdhury7672 camera wise, is the s23 ultra better than the new sony xperia 1v when using automatic mode ?
@@amrashraf9559 automatic mode wise YES, pro mode wise NO. See SONY hardwares are really good but you got to spend lot of time to get the perfect shot. unlike what majority does.
@@saadchowdhury7672 are you comparing the new sony 1v or other old xperia to the new samsung ultra s23 ?
Im happy with the 4K screens Sony provides on the 1 series of phones, in my opinion there should be atleast 1 smartphone that has 4K screen otherwise what's the point in recording video in 4K and not watch it back on the smartphone? Thats just forcing the customer to go and buy a 4K TV, hook the phone to it and watch what you recorded.
Smartphones that record 8K now thats pointless!
Hi, do you honestly think you can see the difference between a 2k (1440p) screen and a 4k 6.5 inches smartphone screen?
Also 4k TV are the norm now and there s nothing wrong to watch 4k on larger 1080p screen TV....
4k screen on Xperia smartphones is mostly for bragging rights with no real value except we still don't have LTPO and probably higher consumption than others 2k panels
@@JoeGillian0 yes I can tell the subtle difference between 2K and 4K on a smartphone screen.
If Sony can do 120hz on a 4K display then I'm sure Sony will do LTPO refresh rate soon enough
@@4KLion lol, we would need a blind test if it was possible to check it :-) Good for you then
@@JoeGillian0 I know it's good for me 👍🏼
I got the 1 IV but I feel like I made a mistake. Are there any options to trade it in for the V?
Nope we are screwed
@@JoeGillian0 Damn it. There are so many things I like the Xperia for, and some things I hate it for. I don't know what phone I'll get next.
Let me know if I can help with a comparison if you're thinking about a specific alternative
@@tech_edit Thanks, but I really dont think there is a phone out there for me.
My Lumia 950 took better photos than the Xperia 1 IV, and it never overheated. It just feels like things have regressed.
I won't buy Apple or Samsung, and I don't think anybody else makes phones with designs and easy to use as nice as the Xperia. I like the headphone jack, no notch, SD card, tool-less removal of sim tray, and physical camera button.
@@mintydog06 lol, I had the Lumia 950...for a very short time( a few weeks...bought it second hand for trade in value)..I don't think it takes better photo than older Samsung or Sony ...also there was no zoom either if I am not mistaken
Too bad there is no trade in value from Sony, I will try to sell my Xperia 1 IV on my own
Are u willing to sell your xperia mark iv
i want it

Will the Sony 1V be released in UK on the 4 major networks?
No, it will be available on EE and O2, though giffgaff as well going beyond the big four.
@@tech_edit so it Vodafone and 3 are not taking it on?
Not to my knowledge. Sony's press release only mentioned those.

@@Lyraxhaze Good. Thanks
Is the notification LED brighter in 1 V vs 1 IV?
No notification light or led.if that's what you mean
Sony got rid of it 😡
@@SonyEnthusiast which is sad. First earphone, then USB-C and charger. Now, LED notification
@@fara.r.8181 Sony better bring back the LED! And keep the sd card slot, headphone jack, front firing stereo speakers without UGLY notches and holes, and 4k OLED.
Recording footage onto SD card is better in every way if you get proper fast and good quality SD card... even if you phone dies, you still have the data.
btw:
1. what is the minimum focus distance of those cameras?
2. can it lock screen while recording to prevent any accidental touch, that would stop recording?
I've had too many microSD cards corrupt in my time - but maybe that's just me? The main camera and ultra-wide focus as near as about 10cm, the telephoto camera's around 40cm.
@@tech_edit I actually had no real failure on any SD card in my life, except for one card in my phone, that was very old and really deserved retirement :) And there is even one more good effect - you dont use your internal storage (write cycles) and it will last longer as it cannot be replaced ;)
Main memory is faster than microsd.
When a phone gets to be camera like, it makes perfect sense to have sd card support. That's how cameras operate, just pop the card out, transfer to computer and edit. That's how photographers have been doing for years
@@bitkarek
I'm so glad you questioned his disparagement of SD cards; a QUALITY SD card is great for video & audio recording, in addition to preserving the data in case of smartphone failure; SD cards have saved me when I had forgotten my PIN number, damaged my smartphone, etc. It's shocking that he isn't cognizant of all of the salutary qualities of SD cards.
The only issue with Sony phones is the pricing, they should be priced more in line with Pixels
The 10 series should be £400
5 Series £650
1 Series £900
Great video. Could you spend a little bit more time in the next video for the zoom lenses and their image quality, please?
Sure thing - comparing them against any specific phone?
@@tech_edit I would say vivo x90 (plus version if you have it around) or xiaomi 13 ultra. Or just your opinion/evaluation regarding this
Considering the new Exmor T sensor, I don't think a bigger sensor is necessary since this new sensor tech seems to capture just as more light as traditional 1 inch sensor. But I don't know much about this sensor yet so capabilities are unknown. Maybe 1/1.12 or1/1.13 is end game enough for Sony. I do think that they'll eventually improve the PDAF on the newer sensor since it might need adjustments. Otherwise, I'm just waiting for Exmor T on the ultrawide and telephoto.
Still, the Xperia 1V is pretty much Sony's best flagship that they've ever made since the Xperia Z3. I hope they keep this trend going. I do agree that 256GB might be a tad on the lower side since the phone's price in my country is substantially higher than many flagships but it's lower config. The new chip is probably why. Can't wait for your final reviews. Feels like forever since I watched Btekt, I mean TechEdit 😁.
Been a Sony fanboy for 8 years and now I moved on. Few points, 1. What user benefit do we get with 4K screen instead of going for 2K and saving more juice? I own a galaxy s23u now and the battery life standard is now very high in competition, so battery dying by 6-7pm is not just bad, its trash!! I hope Sony will focus on usability instead of flexing their HW capabilities in future. For now, I'm happy i left the Xperia limbo.
When you set up this phone,it takes pictures brighter,clearer with more detail than iPhone 14,it also captures what iPhone 14 will fail to see in the night
I love my Sony Xperia 1.
The truth is that I bought from the xperia Z to the 1 of the first generation. Then I let myself be fooled by Google and its pixel 5. But now I'm curious about this one again. What really holds me back is the level of system updates it has. At least google has a good interim update every three months, that makes many things fix and introduces new and innovative ones, things that, like Apple or Sony, don't happen. As they sell you the phone, that's how they stay.Only security updates and android version upgrades, which are also too late. 6 months from when Google launches the new version until Sony incorporates it.That's what throws me off thinking about buying it.
A terminal in itself, beautiful, of quality, with such a good presence, the processor... but something always fails with Sony. With the quality of its always wonderful products, but that does not take care of the community that it deserves. Quick updates on time, now there are no excuses when Samsung uses the same processor in the S23 as Sony does now.
